Blaze 4G and One S (international) - compatible with AT&T 3G bands?

[bmold86]

Hi I am trying to confirm whether or not these two phones will work on AT&T 3G (red pocket) - Samsung Galaxy Blaze 4G and the HTC One S international version.

I am currently living in China and the HTC One S is listed on the HTC Chinese site as having HSPA/WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100 MHz bands which lead me to believe it would be usable on the AT&T network. I emailed customer service at HTC and they confirmed that these bands are correct, but warned me that the phone might not work on AT&T because of hardware something? He of course went on to recommend the One X, which I don't want because it is too big.

The other phone that I have been considering is the Blaze 4G which is offered seemingly exclusively by Tmobile, but according to GSM Arena it also has the proper AT&T 3G bands, which would make it usable in theory, yes?

Anyone know of any unbranded Blaze 4G's available?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

The Blaze appears to have the AT&T band. The One S definitely.

Having looked at the two... go for the One S, do not pass Go, do not collect $200!

As long as you're not carrier locked, the One S is definitely AT&T-friendly. Canada's getting carrier versions that work on AT&T 3G bands.
